You know you're on the Pre-op diet when...



Recommended Posts

I'm actually starting to think those 300cal microwave meals are kinda filling. (Im not on liquid only).

And I did lick the salt off a cracker last night.

I was drinking just Water for the first 3 days and then I realized that we had crystal light. Crystal light is the most delicious tasting drink after 3 days of plain water. I am day 7 of my diet and I am not super hungry anymore. It feels weird to say that knowing 1000 calories a day is not many for the average person.

My Dr said I am not required to do a pre-op diet but I plan on doing it for the 2 or 3 days prior to surgery just to clean myself out. So much for taking advantage of the all inclusive resort! LOL

I'm sure I will be ready to lick a cow after just a couple of days!!!

Omg...this made laugh. I had dreams of chewing food last night. I am not hungry, just wanting something to munch on. Was at the grocery store the other day helping my Mom and walked by hotdogs and instantly wanted one. I hate hotdogs, haven't had one in years. But there I was, staring at the hotdogs drooling. Smh.

My dr wants me to do 2 Protein replacement meal with one solid meal of protein and veggies for two weeks. 2nd day and starving. Does it get any easier? I also hope I don't have this starving feeling after my surgery on the 4th of Nov.

Haha... I felt like that about my GasX tablet... Kinds looked forward to it. I had 10 days of Clear Liquids, which was tough. It's hard but just hang in there! Now I am completely relieved one week out because I can have yogurt, Protein Shakes, and creamy Soup. I let the soup cool down a bit and add unflavored Syntrax Protein Powder. Doesn't change the taste at at!.

Yeah, lets try to avoid the grocery store during the pre op diet. That's all bad.

Yes it does get easier, I'm on day 5, feeling great. Not hungry. Nerves are a little fried but other than that dieters beeotchiness I'm fine. I am definetley avoiding looking at the food signs today. It's the Devil testing me! Lol

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
